Use your small vice grips to stretch the spring and hook the clip over the bar in the mounting end of the wiper blade.

Duct tape makes for a pretty good third hand when stretching springs.

Grind off the end of the old spring. Don't hit the retention clip with the 2 holes.

Use a small flatblade to gently nudge the cover off the wiper arm. There a are 2 retention tangs to release. After this end is up, tap out the cover from the other end.

'66 Starfire door with Trimlok P seal edging. I retained the factory seals, but this helps reduce noise.

Trimlok adhesive P seal. It can make your doors a bit harder to close in the early going.

Aluminum backed, 1/4" thick, closed cell foam works much better than GM's tarpaper water barriers from the 60's to eliminate noise, heat & water from the cabin.

Cut it to fit and enjoy a quieter car. It can make door panels a bit harder to fit.

The death of a fairly rare and cool option. I may rewire it someday, but luckily I had a spare in my stash...

Modern accessories powered by modern relay. Isolated, easier to maintain, and safer than lots of amps through 55 year old wires.

55 year old iron manifolds can crack and create exhaust leaks. Not fatal to the car, but are we at end of life for this engine part?

Install your hood latch rod in the upper hole to reduce hood opening effort by just a little. Retain the rod with an E clip.

Cracks like this can cause noise, but on this one, I think not yet. But I could be just plain wrong.

No raising spring tension, little spring-releaes risk. This is the safe way to remove and bench-repair window regulators.

Be careful with regulators when the windows are down - springs are loaded with tension which can hurt you.

GM fuel sending unit contact point thickness. You want this to touch the resistance wire lightly, not wear it down every time you fuel up.
